Stop hating the singleboxers please

I've gone through several stages with this issue - I started out in full flame mode, because I don't like being accused of cheating or selling gold or accounts.

The I went into amusement mode, where I would poke the QQer with sticks.

Then, I realized, it's the same thing, different thread. I don't even read all of them anymore. IF someone is talking about them reasonably, I will chat about it. Otherwise, I just don't care anymore. I found myself running out of care halfway through a response to them, now I just read, laugh, and go back to leveling my teams.

I started mbing because the average player, at least on my server, is an immature cyberbully with poor anger control and a puffed up sense of self esteem from playing a video game. I avoid interacting with them, as a rule. The idea of running a random pug still sets my teeth on edge, lol.


So yeah, I do actually hate the average one-boxer. But I'm not to intent on sharing my opinions anymore, on the WoW forums. Most of the people that post there are morons, and most of the people I know in-game never read them anyway, because they're all morons. My hunch is that most of the trolls on the forums are the players that guildies tell to stop fucking spamming guild chat with useless chit chat.

Really, I only respond when there is an actual argument being made. After that, I start getting nasty if they flame. Plain and simple.

To the point where they instantly respond with 'F@$% off' and then you proceed to open a ticket and they get a 2 day ban :p

It has been a real treat playing on Smolderthorn server because there is a fellow MB'er on the server thats level 62 and 4 hunters. He is a really likable guy, will explain MB to everyone everytime someone asks (sorry i cant remeber his name).

Because of him is why i started to mulitbox actually, havent seen him around (but... Id love to do khara just need 2 healer and tank!)

Anyhow, becuase of him the Smolderthorn server has really enjoyed fellow multi-boxers. Now that i am on Smolderthorn, i feel the need to represent multi-boxers so im polite to everyone. Ill give them all a show (3 rogues, stealth, formations, jumps, dance, etc.). Its been a pleasure to multibox.

Lastly, i have been offered to the best of the guild on the server just because i multi-box! The people see the multi-boxers as skilled players, and "assests" to the alliance. When i created my 3 rogues, i got an offer from a guild that clears through SSC :D. Its a blast on smolderthorn,

Sorry to hear you guys and all those Aholes out there :-(

Today's "whinge of the day" on the EU forums provides yet more evidence as to why the vocal minority against MBing don't deserve anything but contempt!

I'll pull out some quotes here as these threads tend to be deleted eventually...

ofc multi boxing is illegal, it uses 3rd party software, blizzard just closes eyes because it's extra $$$$

As a conclusion, it takes massive amount of time and money to l2multibox and actually do it. And you have to admit it - people that multibox deserve to own in PvP. It might be not because of skill (multiboxing does require a certain amount of various skills tbh) but because people that do it spend TONS of money for it and they also most probably lack soical skills and so on.. I mean you have to have no real life if you spend so much effort, time and money for such a thing.

It's also hilarious imagining the level of lifeless-ness those dorks would have to have to level to 70 6 identical characters on the same server.
I salute your dedication in destroying your life.
edit: which brings us to the conclusion, they probably bought them didn't they. the whole thing stinks.

the level of lameness needed to play as a multiboxers surely allows the extra lameness of just buying accounts off ebay.

I'm amazed over the weak responses on this board about multi-boxing. Really, anyone defending it must either be a complete ignorant fool or a multi-boxer themself. I've played some older MMOs before WoW and i'm disgusted whenever i see a mutli-boxer cause it looks exactly like the botting farmers did in other MMOs, only that the tards in WoW limit themself to 3 classes, all of the same, and instead of making YEN its main use is in the BG's which has become an insignificant part of the game.

Just came across my first multiboxer in WSG...elemental shammy hitting you with 4 chain lightinings at once is not fun..
The fact that some saddo has to level in 4-5 diferent accounts to get his kicks is not my concern but the whole concept is against the spirit of the game.

Exactly. They delete everything concerning multi-boxers but we just have to make a stand now. It SUCKS. Not only do people who use it get to level WAY easier then normal players, they completly ruin pvp as well. And its totally legal! I reported someone who was playing 4 shadowpriests at a time and got 700 kills a day, easily. Try to solo 4 shadowpriests, goodluck.

It's not fair! It's not fair, its not fair, its not fair! And it's totally legal. I even got berated by a GM for reporting this person... helloooo?

every player can build a twink, very few players can multibox (unfair)
twinking is just getting boosted by a guild, multiboxing is just paying (like buying 1000g from a gold spammer)
twinks knows how to play, multiboxers just hit the lame "you-die" combo (frustrating)
twinks speed up bgs, multiboxers slow down them (I just had one more with him and it lasted 1h again)
twinks abuse of game mechanics tweaking their pg, multiboxers just play in an absurd way

The question is: how many unhappy customers are needed to make Blizzard change its mind?

"They delete everything concerning multi-boxers but we just have to make a stand now"


Oh, they're going to take on the lead devs and force them to change the policy?


They have a better chance at a class action lawsuit.<rolls eyes>


They're openly declaring their intent to continue to kick up a fuss on the US forums too. That'll get them far. Wait, lemme get some popcorn and diet coke before you start your precious little rebellion!


It's not even like they're saying they lost a drake because of a MB team. They're complaining about getting killed in a BG, which is pretty much what you DO in a BG. I played a rogue in the 70 level BGs starting with quest/ah specials, and fought my way to a full S1 set. Did I sit there and whine that an S2 geared warrior would slice me to ribbons 6, 7 times a match, or locks were dotting me to death in an instant? Of course not! My Irish warrior ancestors would haunt my ass forever if I did that.


You know what is most likely, these guys are pissed because they actually had to fight. Who gets pissed if they die? It's not like you get huge repair bills, or lose out on gear, or anything like that. So you lose buffs and any pots you drank. Big whoop! You get up, and run down the hill again and see who survives! That's the actual FUN of pvp! If you ain't dyin', you ain't tryin'!


Who wants "equality" in a BG, anyway? I want EPIC fights against desperate odds, so when I do win, it feels GREAT.


These whiners, they must have gone to those idiotic schools that outlawed winning, where both teams got a trophy regardless of who won. What a bunch of pussies this country is raising, and it's spreading to Europe! The heroic warrior ancestors of those whining players on the EU forums are spinning in their graves at 40,000rpm at their sniveling, I swear! :)

I'm in the minority here, coming from Europe, which means I often don't get a chance to respond in a meaningful fashion to threads that develop "overnight".

I will usually take time to read the thread, work out whether anyone else has already asserted my point of view and then let it lie if I feel I have nothing to add.

With that said, I'm off to a meeting in 20 minutes and I feel absolutely compelled to respond here before that, so apologies in advance if I'm stating an obvious point that's already been raised in the many responses to date.

So...

Absolutely none of the comments you have quoted in ANY WAY show hatred towards single boxers. To suggest that is entirely fatuous.

They show disdain towards the ignorant individuals who insist on persecuting us for our choice of playstyle, and continually insist that Blizzard - who make the rules - are wrong.

Nobody here has ever attacked anybody for putting up a well constructed argument about how multiboxing gives an advantage, and why they think - in their personal opinion - it should be banned from the game. Quite the opposite in fact. We have many, many individuals here who respond tirelessly to such posts.

PR is a big part of what we do.

My comment in particular:

Quote:

'Wow! It's been a while since I've seen such a jumped-up, self-important windbag have that sort of impotent, foot-stamping rant on the forums. Very entertaining.'

---

Relates to a specific individual who was presenting himself exactly as I describe. He blustered about some ridiculous and entirely assinine plan to start a class action suit against Blizzard because multi-boxing is unfair

He obviously never intended to actually do that, because people who are serious about such things quietly get on with it rather than talking about it on the support forum for the company against whom they are plotting!

It was a cynical attack on multi-boxers and he was properly shut down in short shrift by the people whose job it is to look after the community.

For every quote you have repeated - and for the many that you have not - there is a similar backdrop. We don't hate single-boxers. In fact, we don't really even hate the stupid people that we often talk about here, because they give us a good laugh.

So, please, don't come here with out-of-context quotes and try to make it look as if we are in some way persecuting the single-boxers, because absolutely nothing could be further from the truth.

I'm a hater ,thats my business. You want to roll over , thats your business....right or wrong.

I am nicer then I should be.
